Students are still choosing to study in debt and graduate with scarce job prospects - and even less financial security - over taking up an apprenticeship.

Recently UCAS revealed a 4% rise in university applications, so why aren't young people considering becoming an apprentice?

Either their schools just aren't telling them, or they aren't aware of the benefits. For example, did you know finance, law and accountancy don't actually require you to have a degree?

Not bad, hey?
